IN THE GOOD OLD GOLDEN WEST 

BY 
STANTON ELLIOT 



^ 




DEC 2d J9I5 



OH, A SONG I WOULD BE SINGIN' 

FROM THIS FAIR, PACIFIC SHORE, 

TO THE CHAP WHO IS A-CLINGIN' 

TO A LIFE THAT IS A BORE: 

THERE'S A COUNTRY THAT'S A-WAITIN' 

WITH A WELCOME IN THE AIR 

FOR THE PLUCK THAT'S UP AN' LAFHN' 

AND THE MAN WHO'S ON THE SQUARE; 

FROM THE VAST SIERRA HIGHLAND 

TO THE COLORADO'S ROAR, 

FROM THE CATALINA ISLAND 

TO "THE CANYON'S" ROCKY FLOOR,- 

OH, I LOVE THE EASY FREEDOM, 

AND THE LUCK THAT'S IN THE GROUND, 

AND THE LOYAL, ROYAL SPIRIT 

FROM THE PLAINS TO PUGET SOUND. 

'MID THE YELLOWSTONE'S WILD FOUNTAINS 
AND THE GARDEN OF THE GODS, 
ROUND YOSEMITE'S PARKED MOUNTAINS 
WHERE THE GOLDEN SUNSET NODS, 
LET ME ROAM THROUGH NATURE'S STORY,- 
DREAM THE DREAMS THAT WAIT FOR ALL 
WHO WOULD FIND A MATCHLESS GLORY 
IN THE MAGIC OF HER CALL. 

OH, THERE'S ROOM FOR EV'RY MORTAL 
IN THE LAND I LOVE THE BEST, 
AN' THERE'S WELCOME IN EACH PORTAL 
IN THE GOOD-OLD-GOLDEN WEST,- 
WHERE THE EVERGREENS ARE MIGHTY 
AN' ALL NATURE FILLS THE EYES, 
FROM THE SPLENDOR OF THE ROCKIES 
TO THE WEST-GATE'S PARADISE.
